i'll read that in a bit i'm playing CS
To begin transitioning, the girls needed a letter of support from a therapistâusually one we recommendedâwho they had to see only once or twice for the green light. To make it more efficient for the therapists, we offered them a template for how to write a letter in support of transition. The next stop was a single visit to the endocrinologist for a testosterone prescription.
what you're not mentioning is the time delay between those appointments, usually years.
Great discussion

Thank you for posting in my thread
Update February, 2022: Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare has followed the Karolinska's lead and issued a national policy update closely mirroring the policy adopted by the Karolinska. You can read more about Sweden's new policy regarding hormonal interventions for gender-dysphoric minors here.
The NICE evidence review looked at what impact puberty blockers had on gender dysphoria, mental health - such as depression, anger and anxiety - and quality of life. NICE, which provides national guidance and advice to improve health and social care, said: "The quality of evidence for these outcomes was assessed as very low certainty."
France's National Academy of Medicine
While this condition has long been recognized, a sharp increase in demand for medical interventions has been observed first in North America, then in Northern Europe, and, more recently, in France, particularly among children and adolescents. A recent study of a number of high schools in Pittsburgh revealed a prevalence that is clearly higher than previously estimated in the United States: 10% of students declared themselves to be transgender or non-binary or were unsure of their gender. In 2003, the Royal Childrenâs Hospital in Melbourne diagnosed only one child with gender dysphoria, whereas today it treats nearly 200.
Whatever the mechanisms involved in adolescents â excessive engagement with social media, greater social acceptability, or influence by those in oneâs social circle â this epidemic-like phenomenon manifests itself in the emergence of cases or even clusters of cases in the adolescentsâ immediate surroundings. This primarily social problem is due, in part, to the questioning of an overly dichotomous view of gender identity by some young people.
Great medical caution must be taken in children and adolescents, given the vulnerability, particularly psychological, of this population and the many undesirable effects and even serious complications that can be caused by some of the therapies available. In this regard, it is important to recall the recent decision (May 2021) of the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm to prohibit the use of puberty blockers.
If France allows the use of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones with parental authorization and no age limitations, the greatest caution is needed in their use, taking into account the side effects such as the impact on growth, bone weakening, risk of sterility, emotional and intellectual consequences and, for girls, menopause-like symptoms.
As for surgical treatments, specifically mastectomy, which is allowed in France at the age of 14, and surgeries relating to the external genitalia (vulva, penis), it must be emphasized that these procedures are irreversible.
Europe just isn't filled with a status-anxious, inherently intellectually inferior, sociopathic activist class who intend to bend reality to their will.
You are so fucking stupid. I can't imagine being so dumb that you think you can just inject people with random hormones and it's "reversible" LMAO

Zero capability for thinking and reasoning. Everything you believe is guided by social desirability and nothing else.

Can i too?
probably: the trick is to go to low income, inner city medical services because those are never investigated by the government.
Speaking from experience?
